A member asked:

How will wearing disposable contact lenses improve my vision if i'm throwing them away every day after 1 use?? i wear rx glasses mainly.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do you see well?: Contact lenses correct the existing vision so you can see clearly. Disposable lenses do the same thing. They do not change the eye to reverse the visual optic needs. Daily disposables are a convenient way for vision correction but are not therapeutic, just optical.
